A Massachusetts grand jury has indicted the fiancée of former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez as the investigation into the June murder of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd continues.

Lloyd was shot to death on June 17 and his body was found in an industrial area close to Hernandez’s home in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

The Bristol, Connecticut native has been charged with the murder. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held in lieu of bond.

Jenkins was seen on home surveillance video carrying a rigid object the size of a lock box or safe out of the house and into the yard, before loading it into her sister's car, according to the warrant.

She allegedly asked to use the vehicle to go to the bank and returned home about 35 minutes later without the object.

The warrants claim that Jenkins might have dumped the weapons in the woods in Massachusetts or might have taken them to a Bristol storage unit that Hernandez paid for.

Police searched the facility, U.S. Storage, in July, seizing some company records and a silver lock.

The grand jury also indicted Hernandez's cousin, Tanya Singleton, 37, of Bristol, Conn, on a charge of conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact.

The new indictment against Singleton is in addition to an indictment announced last month that charged her with criminal contempt.

Singleton is due in Fall River Superior Court for a status hearing on her pending contempt charge on Monday and it is possible she could also be arraigned on the new indictment at that time, according to the DA.
